Some people press them out, others burn the rubber, then hammer the outer shell out, and others use a air hammer. I don't know of any special tool.

Just did my U joints and my Neighbors ball joints and upper and lower bushings with this, just secured it in my work bench vise and was easy. Get them started straight before pressing them in.

Pretty sure you can rent one from a local parts store also.

Cool, always good to know! I am a Tool Junkie, love to add a new one!

Sure, they sell it to you, and you return it.
look at your return receipt next time, let me know if you get the taxes back?

Correct Tools make work so much easier!

We don't have a sales tax in Oregon, so we get all of our money back.
